F3, F4, F5 keys problem in win 7 - Skryabin - 10-09-2013

I can't see Parameter Data, Unit Data, Weapon Data after I switched to Windows 7. Didn't use it for a while, but now I need it again.

Does anyone have this problem? How do we look for those infos now? Any solutions?

Dmitriy, MS Windows Help files many old programmes such as JTCS use became obsolete as of MS Vista I think. To continue to have access to them you need to go to Microsoft site and download a file called winhlp32.exe.

After that, the Function keys work again in opening the various help files.

Happy to be of help Dmitriy! Had the same issue when I moved to W7 from XP.

Mods, perhaps move this thread to CS Technical Issues sub forum for future reference?

Curious, went to the site. I need the file for windows 8. after trying to navigate still had trouble finding where to go for this file. Battle Kat could you direct me?

Windows 8 download page, I believe:

http://search.microsoft.com/en-us/DownloadResults.aspx?q=WinHlp32.exe+for+windows+8

No longer works in 8.1


RE: F3, F4, F5 keys problem in win 7 - Crossroads - 11-04-2013

Oh cr@p. Good reason not to upgrade then, especially as I finally got 8.0 working without the Metro UI garbage filling the screen... Needed a separate Non-MS app to do that...
